Climate-Related Death of Coral Around World Alarms Scientists

This is due to pollution, period. Nothing more, nothing less. Global warming hysteria is a Hollywood fairy tale being pushed to rationalize forcing a carbon credit tax onto all of us. It's just another wealth transfer scam to keep the shackles on the defenseless and the less fortunate. If you don't understand this by now, you're an idiot, because everyone outside of your insulated propaganda bubble already figured it out ages ago. The people pushing this scam need to give it a fucking rest already and move onto their next one, because this one isn't going anywhere and they're embarrassing themselves at this point. If you're going to be evil, at least exude some competence.

Looking forward to this comment becoming light gray and unreadable as the asspained and talentless San Francisco fucktards working on their shitbrained dead-end startups extend their delicate index fingers (connected to hands that haven't struggled through an honest day's work in their entire lives) to click the downvote arrow. I'll wear it as a badge of pride. How about you spend some of that ill-earned VC welfare cash and buy some bleach to drink, you insufferable cuckolds. I hear it's 10% off on Amazon. Help save the world by ridding it of one more parasite.

Imagine the startup, who don't have customers yet and just gives up (because what's point, they will not come). The more traction they have, the more snowballish it become.

How regular people can help?

1) Try to use renewable materials around you (bags, not plastic bags, use the fabric)

2) Sort the garbage (don't know about US), but in Europe this is real thing (organic, general, electronics, etc)

3) Try to limit the car or any fossil fuel usage in your household.

3.1) Don't have 1 car per each family member

4) Don't buy and throw away clothes too often, if you do, return to second hand

5) Use energy saver functions at it's max

6) Stop searching for someone to blame and "Just DO IT!" (c) Shia

How IT people can help?

1) Write less energy consumption programs and servers, they eat too much now

2) Move toward real innovations in "green" tech, not the pseudo ones to collect money and bail

Samsung once done the big screen phone, how the iPhone users called them? "Shovel" phones / users. Then came this "innovative" Apple iPhone with the same big screen and it suddenly became "mainstream". Don't be afraid to be first in something good, especially if this is a future of your planet.

Don't expect that someone will make this problems "go away" or people fly away from here. Humans managed to make orbit a trash can too, so we don't go anywhere in far future.

This proportion is also likely to go up significantly in the next 30 years. If you want to get a more visceral sense of that, try changing the "Diet" settings in this climate change mitigation model http://tool.globalcalculator.org/ . For more of an eye opener, change the "examples pathways" to IEA 6DS (current trends) and then just manipulate the "Type of meat" parameter. Simply by replacing 64% of expected ruminant consumption (beef, lamb etc.) with other meats (chicken, pork, etc.), we can decrease total worldwide emissions by 43%.

The entire discussion around coral reefs has been going on since I was young and can remember(at least 20-odd years). It was always emotional (think of the children level guilt-tripping, almost), and was always "assumed" and dictated. There was never any convincing, discussing; it was just the way it is and we as young children were to accept it.

And despite all of that, we as a society have spoken the other way around and gone ahead and potentially ruined the delicate environment required for these creatures. It's who a majority of us are. Perhaps not who we should be, or who we'd like to be, but this is largely of our doing and our inability to convince those in power and the rest of society to protect the things we value.
